The Florists' Review 



Mabch 6, 1913. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



Market conditions, for the last week, 

 were much the same as for the one pre- 

 ceding. There was plenty of stock 

 in all lines and most of it kept moving 

 in pretty good shape. One large depart- 

 ment store gave away carnations as 

 souvenirs all last week, which helped 

 to keep some of the less good stock 

 from accumulating at the wholesale 

 houses. 



Various Notes. 



Word has just been received that 

 William Schmitz, who is located at 

 Thirty-second street and Burnham 

 avenue, forsook bachelorhood about two 

 weeks ago. 



The A. F. Kellner Co. is getting ma- 

 terial ready preparatory to moving its 

 place of business on Auer avenue about 

 three blocks north from the present lo- 

 cation. This concern has all its decora- 

 tive stock booked for next week, at 

 which time all the department stores 

 wiU have their usual openings. 



liocker & Son are cutting a good 

 grade of carnations, sweet peas, vio- 

 lets and bulbous stock these days. 



The C. C. Pollworth Co. reports pros- 

 pects good on the Easter lily proposi- 

 tion. The daily cut of carnations and 

 roses IS good. 



Word received from Wm. Edlefsen, 

 at Lorane, Ore., one of the pioneer 

 florists of this city, is that he is now 

 in perfect health. The air there has 

 entirely cured his tl^rQl and nasal 

 trouble, which caused him 'considerable 

 inconvenience for some years while re- 

 siding in Milwaukee. 



The Holton & Hunkel Co. is again 

 V cutting a fine grade of Killarney roses. 

 The Easter lilies at the Brown Deer 

 plant are reported to be in good shape. 

 H. V. Hunkel spent March 2 in Chi- 

 cago and vicinity. 



Gust Rusch & Co. report no over- 

 supply in the medium grade of roses 

 as yet; just about enough to go 

 around. E. O. 



Otto Wilke, grower for Fred Kaiser, 

 has been confined to St. Mary's hos- 

 pital since February 26, with blood 

 poisoning of the right arm. Although 

 it seemed quite serious at the first, at 

 this writing he is doing nicely. 



Sam Seligman, of Wertheimer Bros., 

 is in town. 



Fort Smith, Ark.— George T. Duey is 

 now sole owner of the Electric Park 

 Greenhouses, having purchased the in- 

 terests of the Light & Traction Co. in 

 the property.

THE FERTILIZER 

 PROBLEM SOLVED 



Practically every grower now finds that one of his chief problems Is an adequate supplj 

 flrst-class Fertilizer— the available quantity of barnyard manures is inadequate and street and 

 stable manures are poor, impure and of uncertain value, though expensive. Large growers 

 are meeting the need of a safe, sure, well-balanced fertilizer of unlimited supply by using

 sary plant foods, but Improves tfie mechanical condition of the soil. Wherever it is tried it
